They are sold as training pieces for kids and employee's in retail. Here is a link to buy fake coins and paper. From their description:
Here is the perfect answer for training cashiers, tellers or anyone who handles money in the workplace how to count change or handle money effectively. Also a terrific way to teach children how to count money. The tray is 11 X 19-3/4 inches and the kit comes with 50 each of $100 and $500 bills, 100 each of $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. Also comes with 100 each Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters and 25 each half dollars and Sacagawea dollar coins.

those bills and coins look way to real to be legal.

Kinda what I was thinking. Go to someplace at night, crumple the bill first, hand somebody a hundred where it is kinda dark and they give you change...I dunno..... ???

Found 8 of those "counterfeit" pennies in my last bag of pennies. Even had some variety as there were two different types in there. Found them a few other times as well, but never so many at once.
